Farm Animals in Winter
by Eve Perrera

Could I do it if I had to
Face some grim existence, stolid,
nostrils to the wind?

We'll only know when we get there;
when we face the wintry places,
what's the center we are made of,
and the wintry places look
much closer now.

Beyond them lies the only valid barn.

--As quoted by Luci Shaw in God in the Dark
